Hell for Gamers

Another reason this is hell? Think of another thing gamers enjoy that requires opposable thumbs.

My vision of hell would be something like no opposable thumbs and nothing to play but Left Behind: Eternal Forces. On Intellivision.

say no to drugs

Pac-Man, Explained


Let's close things out today with this, an attempt to rationalize Pac-Man into an actual narrative: Bottom line, drugs and outer space are a bad combination.

This picture comes from an animation that gets annoying after about like 2 seconds. Turn down your speakers if you have easily startled house pets or children around. Fair warning.

Resistance Party = Old Hollywood

If you long for the days when Fred Astaire and Grace Kelly took to the stage, dancing and singing amongst...dancers and singers...AND you happen to love the PS3 sensation Resistance: Fall of Man, then these photos are for you. Created with the help of 40 volunteers and Resistance's screen-grabbing tool, this is something really special. More pics:

Master Chief Carved From Snow

Now that his battle is done, Master Chief seeks other fights. For instance, here we see him stand against global warming, spiting carbon monoxide emissions and the sun's building rays by standing defiant in frozen water. Don't mind his yellow glow. His bloom lighting is under control...it's just that a dog passed by not so long ago. (OK, fine. No yellow, "lemon flavored, we promise" snow was used in the building of this Master Chief sculpture. And his battle against polluters is in no way sanctioned by Bungie or Microsoft. As of now Master Chief is retired and void of any and all sponsorships—which is really too bad. He'd be great with a line of men's wear on QVC.)

Clip(s): Japan Gets New, Non-Gaming PS3 Ads

What do you do when your console doesn't yet have killer games? Advertise pictures! Yes, PICTURES. Like of an old man marrying a young women a father with his daughter (above) or of another old man caught putting a dead body in trunk with his car (after the jump).

A Pictorial History of Video Game Systems

Knuttz.net has posted a pictorial history of the video game console, featuring 71 consoles from the original Odyssey all the way up to the Wii. Titled "Video Game Consoles Evolution", it doesn't feature long, drawn-out histories for each console. No tiresome personal anecdotes like you'd find me writing after every photo. Just 71 crystal clear photographs in chronological order. Simple and clean. More »

PS3 Road Trip: El Paso

When Sony mailed me the Playstation 3 in Texas, in the middle of a road trip, I figured when else would I have an opportunity to cart around a $600 yet-to-be-released console all over the place and take pictures? So I made the best of the situation. Think of this as the geeky version of the garden gnome. Yes, I'm a dork. More »

GDC: Through the Eyes of Rocca

I ran into IGDA executive director Jason Della Rocca at the Game Dvelopers Conference last week. Needless to say, he was a wee bit busy. He just dropped me a line to let me know that he's updated his blog Reality Panic with his thoughts from the show and tons of pictures. More »

The Many Faces of Mario Looks like Mario took to the streets last night during their annual West Hollywood Halloween celebration. I love the Mario Karts shot, I wonder if they had any races?

BlizzCon Rocks Anaheim

It looks like BlizzCon was an unadulterated success judging by the picture gallery. Check out that sweet sword, was that the grand prize for the Warcraft III invitational. Man, that's right up there with Atari's Quest for the Five Golden Objects back in the days of Adventure. More »

Online Gamers Unmasked

Robbie Cooper has a gallery up at BBC News featuring gamers pictures beside their avatars. It's probably not a representative sample, but it's solid photography and these galleries are always interesting. The fourth dude in the gallery is one of the 33 kings in Lineage. How do you get to be a king?
